Shin Splints

It's heating up, hair is falling out again
While we compare bruises
Used to be magazines in the store, now it's
In our hands when we tire of being human

Phone a friend, said she forgot to eat all day
Treat it like a movie, maybe it's cute we're too busy living
And I wear a scar like it cuts me to the core
Like it makes me something more than someone who fell down

I can't stand it when I'm perfectly fine
Picked a hill and started running
Took the sting of sunscreen in my eye
If I'm sore, it must be doing something

When I'm with someone, buying warm lightbulbs
I could forget myself
But something deprecating brings me back into my body
How could you say that about yourself

And I wanna beat you with my flaws
Until you take it back

I can't stand it when I'm perfectly fine
Picked a hill and started running
Took the sting of sunscreen in my eye
If I'm sore, it must be doing something

Always trying not to be that guy
Who cares too much about the win
So I'll do nothing from the sideline
All this guilt is really giving me shin splints
